1 item, written 1926 (photocopy) from Salzburg, is a response to Werfel's play Paulus unter den Juden. 1 item to Alma Mahler, written 1940 from Bath, England, mainly responds to Alma's memoir on Gustav Mahler (Erinnerungen und Briefe), including some comments referring to Anna Bahr-Mildenburg. The remaining 5 items are all dated in 1941. 1 of these is a postcard, apparently sent as a New Year's greeting; it bears an excerpt (Canto I, the last stanza, 106), from the Portguese epic poem Lusíadas, by Luís de Camões, along with a German translation by Zweig. Of the remaining 4 items in 1941, 2 are letters written in the U.S. (New Haven, New York City) in the first half of the year; and 2 are letters dated Nov. and Dec., from Petropólis, Brazil. In the latter 4 letters, Zweig often gives expression to his general mood, mentions his plans and the state of his work, and ruminates on the difficult conditions of exile. Also included are clippings of 2 newspaper articles published just after Zweig's death. 1 of these is a news article from the Los Angeles Daily News; the other article, entitled "Stefan Zweig zum Gedächtnis," from the German-Jewish newspaper Aufbau (27. Feb.), contains pieces written in memory of Zweig from the following authors: Emil Ludwig, Paul Stefan, Bruno Frank, Hermann Kesten, Thomas Mann, Heinrich Mann, Walter Mehring, Alfred Polgar, Berthold Viertel, Lothar Wallerstein, and Franz Werfel.
